📈
Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds added this stock than sold it. That's a consistent pattern of professional buying — not a one-time trade. When institutions keep buying quarter after quarter, it usually means they see a multi-year opportunity, not just a short-term trade.
🔻
Below peak — only 64% of 2.2Y high
64% of all-time peak
Only 7 funds hold this stock today versus a peak of 11 funds at 2025 Q2 — just 64% of the maximum. Low institutional ownership can mean the stock is out of favor, but it also means there's a large pool of potential buyers if sentiment turns.
📉
Outflows — 22% fewer funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
2 fewer hedge funds hold this stock compared to a year ago (-22% decline). When institutions consistently reduce exposure, it's worth asking what they know that retail investors don't.
🟠
More sellers than buyers — 43% buying
3 buying4 selling
Last quarter: 4 funds reduced or exited vs 3 that bought or added. When more than half of active funds are selling, it's a caution flag — especially if the stock price hasn't moved down yet.
➡️
Steady new buyers — ~2 new funds per quarter
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 2 → 7 → 0 → 2. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
🔄
Mostly new holders — 57% entered in last year
■ 14% conviction (2yr+)
■ 29% medium
■ 57% new
Only 1 funds (14%) have held >2 years. The majority of current holders are relatively new to the position. New holders tend to sell faster when prices drop — a shallow conviction base that could amplify any sell-off.
💎
Buying through price weakness — shares -2%, value -43%
Last quarter: funds added -2% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -43%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
⚠️
Saturation — most institutions already know this story
4 → 2 → 7 → 0 → 2 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 2 → 7 → 0 → 2. Far fewer institutions are entering now vs. a year ago. When the pool of potential new buyers shrinks this fast, future price support from institutional inflows weakens significantly.
🌱
Early stage — 71% of holders entered in last year
■ 14% veterans
■ 14% 1-2yr
■ 71% new
Of 7 current holders: 5 (71%) entered in the past year, only 1 (14%) are 2+ year veterans. This is an early-phase institutional idea — still being discovered. High upside potential if the thesis plays out, but thin conviction base.
🏆
Elite ownership — 43% from top-100 AUM funds
43% from top-100 AUM funds
3 of 7 current holders are among the 100 largest hedge funds by AUM. When the biggest players own a stock, it reflects deep institutional conviction — large funds have the most resources for due diligence and the most at stake.
Exit risk score 3.0/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
